LOGAN PEARSALL SMITH

The Last Patrician of Letters

Other scholars, other critics, may stimulate or even provoke;Mr. Pearsall Smith inspires a mood of gentle regret, a mood al-most of remorse. We see his virtue, and fester inwardly at thethought of our own vulgarity: we determine to do better nexttime: we reflect how calm, how scholarly, how nice is Mr. LoganPearsall Smith: we reflect how salutary, amid the clang and sirensof our age is this still small voice.

-New Statesman & Nation

Sometimes my soul floats out beyond the constellations;then all the vast life of the universe is mine. Then againit evaporates, it shrinks, it dwindles; and of that floodwhich overbrimmed the bowl of the great Cosmos there ishardly enough left to fill a teaspoon!

O

LOGAN PEARSALL SMITH

Logan Pearsall Smith (October 18, 1865 - March 2, 1946), one of thelast of the gentlemen-authors, and a renowned epigrammatist, critic,essayist, biographer and authority on the English language, was born inMillville, New Jersey, to a family of prosperous and prominent Quakers.He was named in honor of his distinguished ancestor, James Logan, and hisfather, Robert Pearsall Smith. His cousin, Martha Carey Thomas, was pres-ident of Bryn Mawr College (1857 - 1935); his younger sister, Alys, thefirst wife of Bertrand Russell, played a notable role in furthering theFabian Movement; and his older sister, Mary, first married to BenjaminFrancis Conn Costelloe in 1885 - whom she deserted, together with theirtwo little daughters, to study art with Bernard Berenson, the Americanart critic, and later married in 1900 after the death of Costelloe - be-came the celebrated hostess of I Tatti. His parents, Robert PearsallSmith and Hannah Whitall Smith, were both evangelists of note. His fathe-:,

a somewhat unstable individual given to outbursts of enthusiasm followedby.sharp descents into the pit of unexplained depression, was influentialand much respected in England and in Europe. His unusual success as anevangelist, however, led to scandalous rumors and calumny, and he ratired,at an opportune time, from the work of conducting revivals and appliedhimself to running the family's glass-manufacturing business. His mother,a tigress in a Quaker bonnet and famous throughout the English-speakingworld for her inspirational best-sellers, published under the initials"H.W.S."

Logan, a pious boy who distributed religious literature in the Phila-delphia horse-trams, developed into an ordinary, healthy lad - fond ofgames, sports and, above all, of camping trips. He spent his youth inGermantown (1307 Arch Street), a suburb of Philadelphia - secluded in acommunity of Quakers, entrenched and guarded against the ways of "world."He gave up an early plan of holding an hereditary family librarianship(his uncle, Lloyd, was the current librarian), with its meager income, inthe Philadelphia Library and looked forward to a career in the family bus-iness, the Whitall - Tatum Company, located in Millville, New Jersey. (This

business was eventually merged in the 1930s, with the American Cork Company.)

He received his early education at the William Penn Charter School inPhiladelphia, later being admitted to the Quaker school, Haverford College(1881 - 1883), at sixteen years of age. He showed no unusual intellectualinterest at first, the scheme of teaching having little influence on him,but his early love of reading took hold of him again, and his desire toimitate his ambitious sister, Mary, prompted him to read Carlyle, Emersonand Ruskin. The presence of Walt Whitman (a frequent visitor) in the Smithhome, and particularly the reading of Leaves of Grass, opened to him a newsource of wonder.

In 1884, when he was nineteen, he went to Harvard for a year, wherehe was elected a member of several exclusive societies or fraternities ofthe "good set," and became engulfed in the essence of snobbish pleasures -the animating motives of his life there. He fell into the custom, whichthen prevailed at the university, of attending miscellaneous, unrelatedcourses. Consequently, he got almost nothing of intellectual value fromHarvard. For all his assumption of superiority, the crudeness of his mindat the age of twenty amazed him in later reminiscences. Only the familyfriendship with William James and the teachings of Matthew Arnold served tojustify and ennoble the extremely many-sided studies which engaged hisattention at the university. His later comments concerning this periodoffered some excuse: "Youth is a kind of delirium, which can only be cured,if it is ever cured at all, by years of painful treatment."

In this state of ignorance and folly, he finished his year at Harvardand joined his family in an European jaunt, returning in 1886 with the ex-pectation of beginning his business career. A short-lived, though not en-tirely unhappy experience in the New York branch of the company, and thepersistent promptings of his cousin, Martha Carey Thomas, made him hungerfor a.life of cultivated leisure in Europe. Desiring to make the trans-ition from the assured money of the glass-manufacturing enterprise to theuncertain world of writing, he began to prepare himself by spending hisevenings writing an account of a sailing expedition he had taken fromNewport to New Bedford. This he sent to the Evening Post which, to hisamazement, printed it. With the support of his mother and younger sister,and with another story (crude, full of pathos and unpublished) as proof ofhis writing ability, he asked his father's permission to leave the business(and all claims thereto) in order to devote his life to literature.

After some protest, his father offered him a good allowance or, if hepreferred, the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars with which he could pur-chase an annuity. He chose the annuity unich supported him through Oxford,enabled him to spend years in Paris, Italy and England. He livcd veryhappily on it, in fact, for nearly thirty years, during which time he devotedhimself to the study of literature and the English language.

Going to England in 1888, he entered Balliol College at Oxford, wherethe great Benjamin Jowett still lived and reigned, albeit those were hisdeclining years. The Dons of Balliol, the "Greats" tutors were just whathe needed to knock out of him his pretentious superficiality. He becamo in-terested in Liberal politics (having direct contact with George Bernard Shaw,Sidney and Beatrice Webb and other reformers), and in charitable and socialmovements. He was best known at Oxford as belonging to the type of socialreformer who combined extreme democratic views with no really pronounceddislike of the society of Lords. He took his bachelor's degree in 1893 and,thirteen years later, his master's, when he had passed the age of forty andthree years after the publication of his first volume of Trivia.

On leaving Oxford, with a clipped British accent (spoken with a slightlisp) and a vast appetite for culture, he divided his time between Paris

and Vetheuil, working on his book about Oxford. The resulting product ofhis endeavors was a rather lifeless book, The Youth of Parnassus and OtherStories, which was published by Macmillan and Company in 1895 and which, ofcourse, fell completely flat. It did, however, bring him three friends -Robert Bridges (with whom he and others founded the Society for Pure English),William Lyon Phelps (Dean of Oriel College) and Henry Jawes. (One of Logan

Pearsall Smith's later distinctions in literary London was voiced in thewords, "He knew James!")

Soon after, he returned to England and settled in Sussex in his firsthome, High Buildings, a gray, eighteenth-century farmhouse set among greattrees and meadows. (11 St. Leonard's Terrace in Chelsea was his last home,shared with his mother and his sister, Alys.) For the next ten years, thiswas his home. Summers were spent at Friday's Hill in Fernhurst, a placefrequented by the Alfred Whiteheads, the Michael Fields, and the greatGertrude Stein, with her entourage of admirers. Thus, he settled down topractising the art of writing, Walter Pater being his model. In many ways,

he could not have chosen a worst model since Pater had developed a stylesuitable to presenting his own sense of life. The more appropriate for him,the less appropriate for others. Something like Baudelaire's form of ex-pression was what he was after, but one more idiomatic, more colloquial.As to what he wanted to express, he knew they were intimations - latentmeanings - dormant until the words gave them life.

At last, he published a hew of his experiments in a ; etentious littlereview, the Golden Urn (three issues of which were printed - March, September1897 and July 1898), which he and the Berensons privately published in Fiesole.The review contained, in addition to bits of reverie or meditation or "wantonthought," a list of the best Italian paintings in galleries and private col-lections, as well as anthologies of what they considered the finest lines ofShakespeare, Milton and Keats. Always fond cf anthologizing, he later pub-lished several of such volum.es, his favorite being, Little Essays from theWritings of George Santayana.

In 1902, he felt that his own book of prose could not be improved uponand was ready for publication. However, since no publisher would accept soodd a book of illuminations - things which seemed to want to be aAid - heprinted it privately in a small edition, of which thirty copies were sold.Trivia: Printed from the Papers of Anthony Woodhouse, Esq. was regarded asa failure. Logan Pearsall Smith thought a pseudonym was necessary; hence,his use of the name "Anthony Woodhouse, Esq." His mother agreed. She

thought the book was very quaint and interesting, but that it "began nowhere,ended nowhere and led to nothing."

Sixteen years later, as fate would have it, his friend Desmond McCarthy,literary editor of the New Statesman, asked for more of the same or he

magazine. Logan Pearsall Smith, of course, was glad to comply. inally, allof this material was gathered together and published in 1918 by Constable &Company, Ltd., as the revised Trivia. (The title was borrowed from John Gay((1685 - 1732)), an English poet and dramatist.) This delightful book of

11

"incidental divertisements and amiable absurdities," born in the soli.udeof the Sussex woods, sold handsomely for many years, its author becomingfamous on both sides of the Atlantic, Translations of il: were made into

several languages. It was especially popular it France, where it had alarger circulation than in England.

In 1921, he published More Trivia: then came Afterthoughts in 1931 and,in 1933, all of his "trivialities" were collected into one volume, All Trivia(containing the never-before-published Last Words). Logan Pearsall Smithcontinued to revise this work, with a view to a subsequent edition. He was,

in fact, still worktig on it at the time of his death in 1946.

Although Trivia was the center of his life, he did write other books.His biography, The Life and Letters of Sir Henry Wotton, two volumes, publish-ed in 1907, was followed by The English Language in 1912, and Words and Idiomsin 1925. During this time, he also authored several tracts for the Sccietyfor Pure English. His other books included The Prospects of Literature (1927);On Reading Shakespeare (1933); Reperusals and Re-Collections (1936); his auto-biography, Unforgotten ears (1938); and Milton and His Modern Critics (1940).He also edited and wrote a preface to the revised edition of Boyer Nichols'Words and Days (1941), and edited several anthologies. In his autumn years,he was preparing, among other things, a selection from his mother's letters,which was published posthumously in 1949, with a preface and "Memoir" byRobert Gathorne-Hardy, as A Religious Rebel.

For eighty years, Logan Pearsall Smith did exactly as he pleased, usingEngland and Italy as bases for his European adventures - a lengthy stay inParis, brief excursions into the French countryside in search of twelfth-centm:, Jothic and seventeenth-century manuscripts. These wanderings,however, never disturbed his world - the ancient cities of Oxford, Florenceand Venice.

He visited the United States for only brief periods of time. He nevermarried considering marriage fatal to the artist), choosing, instead, toshare his home with his mother and, after her death, with his sister, Alys.In 1913, be became a British citizen. It was not Lierely his love of Englandand his admiration of English aristocracy and wealth which motivated him,but his dislike of his native land (that "sandy Sahara of culture").

Bald, thin and aquiline-featured in his later years, his physical con-dition deteriorated into massive incapacitation. He was, in addition,cursed by his own self-indulgence and undulating moods of elation and de-pression which hounded him for life. ("...I have faded away into one ofmy intermittences and dull periods. I had a fine spring of delightfulmadness, and am paying for it as usual by sanity and dullness... ") Hisfinal days were marred by insanity. Yet, despite his tragedy, he suc-ceeded in winning a place in English letters. He died at his home, 11St. Leonard's Terrace, Chelsea, March 2, 1946. Only five people were athis funeral.

12

The story of his life is told with complete frankness by his secre-tarY,..!nOMpanioti of eighteen years, Robert Gathorne-Hardy, in Recollectionsof Login Pearsall Smith: The Story of a Friendship (1950), and in masterlyellipseg-bY-Lngan Pearsall Smith in Unforgotten Years (1938), the latterbeing more an evocation of his memories than a record of his life.

Logan Pearsall Smith won a remarkable reputation as one of the mostfastidious,,. pithy and witty of writers. His mind and temperament, and theionalif his writing were of a certain kind: finicky, neutral, ironic in theSense nf,being carelessly detached - a self-mocking defensive, intellectualwithdrawal'. His style, chiseled and polished, condensed and concentratedintn,the fewest words possible, was a rare and precious talent. As aliterary craftsman, he loved the sentence and the brief paragraph (small inscale and perfect in form, surrounded by the virgin whiteness of the page)-and compressed into them thoughts cynical, sad, humorous, wise. He was asChristopher Morley noted, the perfect Mandarin of English letters.
